A poll of iPad users — 6,000 of them — found they are overwhelmingly pleased with the device.

Technologizer asked iPad owners in May how they were getting on with their new device, they were overwhelmingly pleased with battery life, speed and reliability and some 59 percent were satisfied with speed and reliability of the 3G network.

Despite claims that the iPad was nothing more than a kiddie pacifier, about 93 percent of owners surveyed said they either “frequently” (73 percent) or “occasionally” (over 20) use it instead of a traditional computer.

Some are also using it in place of smartphones, too. Over 80 percent of iPad owners surveyed are also iPhone owners, about 60 percent of respondents said they “frequently” use the iPad instead of their smartphones, another circa 25 percent “occasionally” use their iPad instead of the phone.

Does this reflect how you’re using your iPad or not?
